It's that time of year: School supplies are going on sale. There are lots of great items that many of us use in our businesses on sale as well. The coupon website I follow put together a compilation post of all the best prices this week:

Some of the stores might not be in all areas, but there are several national chains listed.
 
I like the penny folders at Office Max! True, you have to spend $5 to get them, but pair that with you Pampered Partners discount card (that's what I use to get labels and business card magnets) and you're there!
 
Where and how are you getting the business card magnets?

I get mine from VistaPrint. Their site is a NIGHTMARE to navigate but I have a team member who is super at making her way around their site so she does it for me.
 
I get the BUSINESS CARDS from Vista Print and the MAGNETS from Office Max. They are only like $3 and very strong. Peel off the back, attack business cards, and done. Easy Cheesy.

Thanks! My Walmart charged $.15 for the 2 pocket folders vs. $.10. That's what you get for shopping in Ithaca, NY.
 
I went to Office Max today. A pack of 750 address labels (I use 'em for catalogs as well as for invites) was $7.79 with my Pampered Chef perks.The penny folders and $1 sharpies were all gone.I got a coupon from Target's website for $1 off a sharpie, which makes them free when I go there.Packaging tape was back in stock at Dollar Tree. Soon I'll have a usable booking slide!
